What is CO2 Fractional Resurfacing?

As skin ages, collagen and elastin that add structure and elasticity decrease, causing lines, wrinkles and folds to appear at the surface. Several treatments exist to reverse the signs of aging and improve the appearance of skin, but laser resurfacing is renowned for its ability to safely and effectively restore a youthful glow to the skin without damage or irritation.

Once administered to treated areas, the fractionated energy penetrates the skin surface and stimulates the body’s natural healing response, initiating production of new collagen and elastin. Surrounding, healthy skin is left undamaged, increasing patient safety.

What are the Benefits of CO2 Fractional Resurfacing?

Choosing CO2 fractional resurfacing over other skin rejuvenation treatments has several benefits, including:

A quick treatment time that is easy to fit into any busy schedule

Laser resurfacing creates visible results and promotes the continued improvement of your skin over time

Slight redness is common after treatment and should subside after a few days, although this often depends on the individual

Typically, only or two sessions are necessary to improve visible lines and wrinkles

How Long Will Results Last?

Although full results are achieved in a short amount of time, your smooth, sleek skin can last for several years after treatment, with follow-up sessions as needed. After treatment, patients should adopt a good skincare regimen in order to maximize results and maintain natural skin health and beauty.

Am I a Good Candidate for CO2 Fractional Resurfacing?

Healthy men and women who have visible lines and wrinkles and no contraindicating skin or health issues are typically approved for this treatment. Patients with darker skin tones may require further evaluation in order to prevent potential complications. Our medical team will determine during your consultation whether this treatment is right for you.
